    Stellakoh Talook: the Importance of Salmon to Stellat'en

    STELLAKOH TALOOK: THE IMPORTANCE OF SALMON TO STELLAT'EN by Tannis Reynolds B.A., University of Northern British Columbia, 2009 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN FIRST NATIONS STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA April 15, 2016 © Tannis Reynolds, 2016 Abstract There have been many stories written about First Nations from British Columbia and their relationship with salmon. Stellakoh talook means salmon from the Stellakoh River in the Stellat' en language and this research takes a closer look at the past, present and future of Stellat'en (people from Stellaquo) and talook (salmon). I am from the community of Stellaquo where my grandmother instilled a secure knowledge in me that talook are to be respected. Being exposed to other cultures, I understood that many people were not raised with the same respect for talook as I was. In the past, I never really had the words to explain it, but I longed for the words to explain the importance of talook. In this thesis, stories from people knowledgeable about Stellat' en and talook are brought together to create a story about Stellakoh Talook: The Importance of Salmon to Stellat'en. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract 11 Table of Contents lll Acknowledgements IV Chapter One - Introduction 1 Chapter Two - Methodology 9 Chapter Three - Indigenous Feminism and Post-Colonial Theory 19 Chapter Four - Literature Review 31 Chapter Five - Past 40 Chapter Six - Present 54 Chapter Seven - Future 69 Chapter Eight - Conclusion 80 References 84 Appendix A - Glossary 89 Appendix B - Interview Questions 93 Appendix C- Information Sheet and Consent Form 94 Appendix D - Support Letter from Stellat'en First Nation 97 iii Chapter One: Introduction I am a band member of the Stellat'en First Nation and a clan leader of the Luk sil yoo or Caribou clan in the Stellat'en bahlats (potlatch) system.
